Frozen in Time: Twenty Stories
The estimable Joseph Epstein--essayist, past editor of The American Scholar, and recipient of the 2003 National Humanities Medal along with Hal Holbrook and John Updike--brings together twenty short stories in his first such collection since 2010. Most, though not all, of the stories are set in Epstein's hometown of Chicago, but otherwise they have a variety of subjects: among the titles are Dad's Gay, The Casanova of LaSalle Street, JDate, Adultery, Widow's Pique, Race Relations, The Man on Whom Everything Was Lost, My Five Husbands, and Second Family. Most are stories about family and friendships.

Praise for this book
[Epstein's] themes and insights are universal, and his humor is for all time.-- "American Spectator"
Praise for Joseph Epstein's The Love Song of A. Jerome Minkoff: And Other Stories: "As cutting as his stories of the literary world are, Epstein is also a master at capturing the happenstance of urban life and at dramatizing the bewildering fact that we understand so little about each other. Perfectly executed, bold, and unforgettable." -Booklist (starred review)--Booklist
